This site has a list of things you don't know.
Intrigued?
I thought so.
The very first thing on the list:
The longest one-syllable word in the English language is
“screeched.”
the last:
The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days
of lore when the engines were pulled by horses.The horses were stabled
on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight
staircases.
of course not everyone likes his list and there are tons of comments with criticisms, corrections, and just plain jackassery.
My favorite: The only 15 letter word that can be spelled without repeating a
letter is uncopyrightable. The picture is the first image google returned when searching for the word uncopyrightable.
